what are your opinions on him and his effects? after the blaine water escapade he seems to be a bit of a money grabber, whats your opinions on him or his effects?

Steve is an enigma, one of a kind and totally unpredictable. Not too long ago he announced he was leaving the magic scene and concentrating on something more spiritual which would change the world. I don’t think Blaine water was what he had in mind.

A baptism of sorts??
Or maybe - a secret plot to rid the world of Blaine???

As I understand it, Copperfield's next big Vanishing effect will be just that...


Mr. Fearson according to many that know the man, has lost it! He's trying to find it again, but years of heavy drug use will short one out (believe me, I've walked through that particular hell and still pay for it 25 years after the fact.)

Show Biz is rife with horrid tales of this sort; the genius performer, inventor/ARTIST that destroys themselves as the result of personal success. You'd be surprised of the number of major names many of you folks "worship" fall into this category, destroying themselves with booze, drugs, and a workaholic attitude (and that can be very damaging, believe it or not).

In the movie "A Torch Song Trilogy" Harvey Firestien's character talks about "Enough"... it's applicable to this issue; when do we have "enough"?

Being "successful" and "living up to" society's and the industry's idea of what you "should" be doing is not an easy thing, nor is it something that most of us will ever willingly live up to. I'm not saying that we "can't" but rather, many of us find a point in the over-all game that we are not willing to go any further, be it surrending a family life or spending most all of your "down time" travelling from one date to the next, chasing the proverbial buck (money).

Steve Fearson is one of those unfortunate souls that Show Biz consumed. I think he's trying to make things right and step back into the real world, but it's going to take time... even at that, he may not completely recover. Just remember that he was the great innovator out there before everyone flocked to Andrew Mayne, Wayne Houchin and Luke Jermay

I'll also encourage you to re-read what I've said here a few times and look at people like Fearson, reminding yourselves that show biz on the whole, is a very big and hungry monster that's amazingly cunning in how it deludes us into thinking "everything just fine" when it's not.

Steve Fearson lately has released what I call a bunch of c*** (not the best). He charges you to tell you where to get a liftime supply of invisble thread. The ufo trick he put out is nothing but a pain. Besides his sawing in half(that copperfield owns the rights to) and the floating cigarette. What has he realesed that is worth anything.
